The Blantyre Telegraph posted on their Facebook page: “Please could you kindly donate just £1 for the three children of Conor Morgan, the 45-year-old truck driver who recently died on site in Blantyre.

“We’re hoping to buy each of his children a small gift and to let them know people are thinking of them at this sad time.

“Fifty per cent of your total donations will go directly to his children, via Conor’s employer, and a matching fifty per cent will go to the Light House Club, a charity for bereaved families of construction workers.

“The campaign ends on May 27, and funds will be distributed six days after, confirmed on this page.

“We’re hoping with payday coming up for most of our readers, you can donate just £1 (or whatever you wish) for these kids, who have lost a loving father.

“We all have our life problems, but none by comparison to the loss these three kids are going through. Blantyre does care.”
